This and succeeding section are not invalid as being vague, duplicitous, and illegal. Carr v. State, 152 Neb. 248, 40 N.W.2d 677 (1950).

Where deceased voluntarily jumped from a moving vehicle and was injured in alighting without in any manner coming in contact with vehicle, this section does not apply. Behrens v. State, 140 Neb. 671, 1 N.W.2d 289 (1941).

The crime of manslaughter is a distinct offense from that of leaving the scene of an accident causing death under this section. Wright v. State, 139 Neb. 684, 298 N.W. 685 (1941).
